| Résumé : | The ratio of female to male carers is disproportionately high, irrespective of whether the person suffering from dementia is male or female, which represents a lack of equality between men and women. Although we realise that this may be heavily influenced by stereotypes about gender roles and/or a reflection of age-old traditions, we were concerned about the impact that this might have on women in terms of their physical and mental health, employment opportunities and in many cases their economic situation and financial security in old age. We were also concerned about the implications that this gender imbalance might have for men who are carers, those who might have wanted to take on this role and those who may be faced with this decision at some time in the future. |
